I contacted Sam Ivy K9 because I was unable to walk my 5-yr-old German Shepherd near another dog without her barking, growling, and lunging. Over the past 4 years, I worked with several different trainers on this issue and never had any success until I worked with trainer Mirabel from Sam Ivy. Mirabel gave clear instructions for training. She was very supportive, helped me feel more confident, and she was fun to work with. Now my dog is much better behaved on walks and people actually comment on her good behavior.
